Abuzz with colour and music

The Manihiki Henua traditional hymn performance was one for the ages, inspiring people to leap up from the crowd and start dancing in front of the stage. Their costume was based off Exodus, chapters 16, verses 1-36, which was about the children of Israel, how they were hungry, and that the Lord provided them food from the land, sky and sea, just like the people of Manihiki.
